Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto

616-8385 Kyoto, Kyoto, Ukyo-ku Saga-Tenryuji Susukinobaba-cho 12 , Japan
HOTEL OVERVIEW
Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto stands as a magnificent 5-star sanctuary nestled in the historic Ukyo-ku district of Kyoto, Japan. This distinguished property embodies the perfect harmony between traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary luxury accommodations. With an impressive rating of 8.3, this highly-regarded establishment has earned its reputation as one of Kyoto’s premier hospitality destinations, delighting discerning travelers with its exceptional service and elegant ambiance. Located at Saga-Tenryuji Susukinobaba-cho 12, the hotel enjoys a privileged position in western Kyoto’s Arashiyama area, one of the city’s most scenic and culturally significant neighborhoods. The proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Tenryu-ji Temple provides guests with unprecedented access to one of Japan’s most important Zen Buddhist temples, while the famous Arashiyama Bamboo Grove—a verdant forest of towering bamboo that seems to whisper with every gentle breeze—lies just steps away from the hotel’s entrance. The architectural vision of Suiran masterfully integrates with its natural surroundings, offering guests a tranquil retreat from the bustling energy of Kyoto’s more tourist-heavy districts. The property was thoughtfully designed to embrace the serene views of the Hozu River and the verdant mountains that frame this picturesque corner of Japan’s ancient capital. Each elegantly appointed room and suite within this luxury collection hotel features meticulous attention to detail, with interior designs that pay homage to traditional Japanese craftsmanship while providing all modern comforts expected of a world-class 5-star accommodation. The hotel grounds include beautifully landscaped Japanese gardens that change their character with the seasons—from the delicate cherry blossoms of spring to the vibrant crimson maples of autumn—offering guests an immersive experience in Japan’s celebrated natural beauty. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Suiran excels in creating memorable experiences for its guests. The hotel’s excellent rating of 8.3 reflects its commitment to personalized service that anticipates and exceeds expectations. Culinary offerings at the property showcase the finest seasonal ingredients prepared with the precision and artistry for which Kyoto cuisine is renowned. After days spent exploring Arashiyama’s cultural treasures—including the poetic Togetsukyo Bridge, the mystical Iwatayama Monkey Park, or the contemplative walkways of nearby temples—guests can retreat to the hotel’s therapeutic hot spring baths, where the ancient Japanese tradition of onsen bathing soothes both body and spirit. For travelers seeking an authentic yet luxurious Japanese experience, Suiran, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Kyoto offers not just accommodation but a gateway to the cultural soul of Japan, where every moment becomes part of a journey through the elegant traditions and natural splendor that have defined Kyoto for centuries.

Gorgeous room, helpful staff, amazing facilities and activities. everything was just perfect
What could be improved: nothing
Cherry from Thailand (25 March 2025)
The landscape and the view are breathless. Couldn't find a better place.
What could be improved: The hotel should have public onsen and a better gym, given the size of the hotel.
Kc from Australia (23 February 2025)
Stunning location and five-star service. The staff were so welcoming and informative. Although our room was not ready on time, we were provided a room to wait in the meantime and free drinks. I can’t rate their restaurant highly enough, delicious food and impeccable service. Upon our check-out we were also provided complimentary transport to the...
Anthony from United States (28 September 2023)
Beautiful location!! The walk from the train station to the hotel with luggage was a bit of a hassle, but it was totally worth it in the end. The room was spacious and had an amazing view! Plus, they had champagne hour from 5 pm to 7 pm, where we could go to the restaurant in the hotel, have a few drinks, and enjoy the view while having a few...
Alan from United States (24 September 2023)
This is an exceptional hotel, well-located in a great section of Kyoto. The afternoon drink and snack by the river was most appreciated. Really attentive staff. We recommend a visit to the new museum next to the hotel. What could be improved: It would be useful to have some western choices for dinner. The original room offered was unacceptable...
Fangxiao from Hong Kong (24 April 2023)
big rooms, nice gardens, breakfast was good
What could be improved: need to pay extra for a hot bath, view if OK as the mountain is really close
Mawaddah from Saudi Arabia (17 May 2024)
The location is perfect with a view of the arashiyama river, staff were very welcoming and they treated us for our honeymoon with gifts and desserts
What could be improved: The bathroom toilet buttons were wiped off due to how old it is, poor water power,
Anat from Israel (5 May 2024)
location, private Onsen, garden, breakfast
What could be improved: design, dinner at the restaurant,
Winston from Japan (2 April 2022)
There is no better location in Arashiyama than Suiran. The afternoon tea on the outdoor balcony of Cafe Hassui is perhaps the most delightful pleasure of all Arashiyama. The lunch and/or breakfast at garden restaurant also make Suiran the most lavish onsen in Japan. What could be improved: Perhaps needing a more casual lounge to relax or social...
Deborah from United States (30 December 2023)
Private onsen.
What could be improved: Distance from Kyoto station
